The diversification and potential function of microbiome in sediment-water interface of methane seeps in South China Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology
The sediment-water interfaces of cold seeps play important roles in nutrient transportation between seafloor and deep-water column. Microorganisms are the key actors of biogeochemical processes in this interface.

Archives of short-term fluid flow dynamics and possible influence of human activities at methane seeps: Evidence from high-resolution element geochemistry of chemosynthetic bivalve shells

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The natural dynamics of fluid flow at methane seeps and increasingly human activities influence the biogeochemistry of the microenvironment and further determine the activity of the chemosynthetic communities within these ecosystems.

New nematode species and genera (Nematoda: Chromadorea) from cold seeps on Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023
Relatively little is known about the taxonomy and ecology of deep-sea nematode species inhabiting cold seep habitats. The available data show that cold seep nematode communities are typically characterized by low diversity and are often dominated by a ...

Mass occurrence of seep-specific bivalves in the oldest-known cold seep metazoan community [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractOne of the most striking features of modern chemosynthesis-based ecosystems surrounding methane seeps is the presence of abundant chemosymbiotic bivalves. However, such accumulations have rarely been reported from Palaeozoic to mid-Mesozoic seeps, and it is widely thought that general trends in the evolution of chemosynthetic communities ...

Mobilizing Presence across Borders: Devotion to Papua New Guinea's Blessed Peter To Rot in Australia

Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article engages with the conjunctures between migration and religion by focusing on the celebration of Papua New Guinea's ‘National Patron Saint’, the Blessed Peter To Rot, in the Australian diaspora. Both in Sydney and Brisbane, Catholic Papua New Guinea (PNG) migrants have been ‘relocating’ PNG shrines, regalia, relics and ritual ...

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Methane‐Driven Arsenic Biogeochemical Cycling in Deep‐Sea Cold Seeps: Implications for Oceanic Arsenic Geochemistry

Geophysical Research Letters
Arsenic accumulation in seafloor cold seeps is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the interplay between arsenic and methane biogeochemical cycles at the Haima cold seep, South China Sea.

Biodiversity of Cold Seep Ecosystems Along the European Margins [PDF]

Oceanography, 2009
During the European Commission's Framework Six Programme, HERMES, we investigated three main areas along the European margin, each characterized by the presence of seep-related structures exhibiting different intensity of activity and biological diversity.
